Field
Description
Field Type
Determines the acceptable values for the field. You can add the following field types:
Boolean (checkbox)
Date picker
Grid (table): Include an interactive, editable grid.
HTML: Create and view HTML content, which can be used in any type of indicator. By default, HTML fields do not use theme styles.
Long text: The long text is analyzed and tokenized, and entries are indexed as individual words, enabling you to perform advanced searches and use wildcards. Long text fields cannot be sorted and cannot be used in graphical dashboard widgets. While editing a long text field, pressing enter will create a new line. Case insensitive.
Markdown: Add markdown formatted text as a Template which will be displayed to users in the field after the indicator is created. Markdown lets you add basic formatting to text to provide a better end-user experience.
Multi-select / Array: Includes two options:
Multi-select from a pre-filled list
An empty array field for the user to add one or more values as a comma-separated list
Number: Can contain any number. The default is 0.
Short text: Short text is treated as a single unit of text, and is not indexed by word. Advanced search, including wildcards, is not supported. Short text fields are case sensitive by default but can be changed to case insensitive when creating the field. While editing a short text field, pressing enter will save the change. Maximum length 60,000 characters. Recommended use is one-word entries. Examples: username, email address, etc.
